CAN-NOZZLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 291,375, dated January 1, 1884.

`To a/ZZ whom it may concern.-

y provide anjimproved can-nozzle; and it con- U sistsin having an outer case or tube soldered The large head thus formed at the outer end of the nozzle is provided with a threaded cap for screwing on tight. The reduced portion f this' cap is provided with' a piece of felt or rubber, ntting tightly against the end of the nozzle when the cap is screwed on. A collar is placed on the tube and provided with a chain, the oplposite end of which is soldered to the outer case of the nozzle, which prevents the cap from becoming lost.

In the drawings, Ais an ordinary can. having a nozzle, B, of ordinary size and construction. A case or jacket, C, somewhat larger in size than the nozzle proper, and of the same general form, is `placed on the outside of the nozzle. In manufacturing, the base D of the nozzle is iiared outwardly somewhat, and afterward soldered to the can. The jacket is made somewhat p, shorter than the nozzle, in' order to allow room for soldering the nozzle, after which a boss, E, is soldered around the jacket, for the purpose of holding it more rigid. The upper end or head, F, of theouter case is provided with a thread, G, for the purpose hereinafter described. Between the "threaded part G and the inner nozzle the space H is filled in with solder, which secures `them in position relatively to each other.

Application iiled August 24, 1883. (No model.)

K, is placed, its object being to iit tightly against the end of the nozzle, 4when the cap is screwed on, to prevent the oil from escaping. A loose collar, L, is placed on the reduced end of the cap I and inside of the flange J. to

which a chain, M, is secured, the opposite end of the chain being soldered to the jacket of the nozzle. This is for the purpose of se'- curing the cap to the can whensit is removed from the end of the nozzle; and that the chain may not become twisted when screwing the `cap on and off, the collar is madelarge enough to turn loosely on the reduced end J.

The cap may either have a piece of cork or other flexible material, as specified.M In this case the cap need not fit tightly on the end of the nozzle; or the cap may be of such a size as to t tightly on the end of the nozzle. In this latter case the material in the end of the cap may be dispensed with. However, if desired, both forms may be used.

By having the outer case arranged as described the whole is materially4 strengthened, and gives room for the cap to be screwed on.- At the same time the material in the end of the cap and the cap itself, fitting tightly on the end of the nozzle, combine to render it practically air-tight.

lVhat I claim is- 1'. A can-nozzle having a 11e-enforcing case or ljacket surrounding it, the outer end or head provided with a thread, substantially as herein set forth.

2. In an oil can, a case or jacket bent so as to conform to the shape of an ordinary cannozzle, placed over and soldered to the nozzle, as shown, the exterior case having a thread, in combination with a screw-threaded cap, substantially as herein set forth.

3. Inan oil-can, a case or jacket, the outer end provided with a thread, combined with the internally-threaded cap arranged to fit on the head of the case or jacket, the reduced eX- ternal end provided on its y inner side with 5o of the nozzle. This cap is provided with a l packing, substantially as herein set forth.
